she will li'iivir this inurnitir for New
Orleans with the bent trip she ever carried
down the Mississippi -also a fine passenger
trip. Capt. J. I). Uegler is her worthy
chief.
iThe Vint Shinklc is about CO hours
behind time owing to the bi trip she has
and the low water she has been un
avoidebly detained. She leaves early this
morning tor Memphis.
The John B. Mauda for Memphis
passed down last niyht with a good trip.
The Fannio Tatum will pass here to
morrow for Mound City where she will
receive the attention of Copt. Leo Kawleiuh
of the Marine Ways at that place.
The tlesiant steamer Will Kyle is due
here to-day from New Orleans for Cincin
natisee W. F. Lambdin, passenger agent,
who will furnish tickets at low rates.
Tho Bifon Rouge for New Orleans is
due here this evening.
Tho City of New Orleans from St.
Louis is over due for the lower Missis
sippi. The Gus Fowler is the regular mail
packet from Paducah, due here at 2 p. in.
to-day and return at 5 p. m.
Tho Ohio is receding blowly, and bo its
that are loaded are having some trouble in
navigating.
Capt. Will Harmon of the Silverthorn
was in the city yesterday, and left on the
Gus Fowler for Paducah.
The Silverthorn is now looking as pretty
as she did when built and will enter the
Cairo and Evansvillo trade next week as a
regular packet. Capt. Will Harmon will
command her.
We went to Paducah Tuesday on a flying
visit and returned last evening, feeling
much better after seeing home and friends.
Yesterday was exceedingly warm for the
season but business seemed to be pretty
brihk.
The Hudson from St. Louis is due here
early this morning for Paducah and Shaw
neetown. 8ho has considerable wheat to
discharge here for the Mississippi Valley
Line.
Namin? a Lake.
Years aro, it was discovered that a
cert tin lu!;i' which hud long been con
sidered the bead of tho Mis.sippi, had
no claim to that honor. The explorers
found a new und smaller lake- from
which the great river took ils ri.se. A
discussion arose as to what name would
be appropriate for it. The story is that
it was decided in this way:
"Let's make a new nanio by coining
a word," said an old voyageur. "Some,
of you lnrned ones tell iuo what is tho
Latin for true.
"VeriUw," answered a scholar.
"Well, now, what is tho Latin, for
hearir
'Caput."
"Now writo the two words together
by Rvllables."
Tie scholar wrote on a strip of birch
bark, "ver-i-tas-ca-put."
"Head it out."
The five syllables wero read.
"Now drop the tirst and last syllables,
and you'll have a good name for this
lake." And "Itasca" it was.
A Cry for More OjBters.
At tho same time that the more
thoughtful and observant aro uttering
protests against tho extinction by whole
sale divdging, of the oysters of tho
Chesapeake and its tributaries, there
conies a cry from England for more
American oysters. Tho New York
lkrnhl (Hole's from a private business
circular which has found Its way into
tho ollico'of that paper. Tho circular
in question is a piteous appeal to bo
furnished with more oysters, on tho
grotind that tho supply in tho English
market falls below the demand. Tho
trader in quest ion slates that nearly
twenty-eight million Atnerieaii bivalves
wero eaten In England between tho mid
dle of October aiid tho day of the new
year. Hetwoen March and May is tho
season for lilunting, and when 'the de
mand on this account is supplied it is
estimated that no less than lifly millions
of our oysters will have been eil her de
voured or naturalized iu (ireat Prilain.
This exhibit only makes it inoro appar
ent that tho oyster beds of tho Chesa
peake and its tributariestho chief
source of supply for tho most succulent
bivalves must bo protected from do
nlotion, If an industry promising such
large proportions and valuable-returns
is to b fostered. Thero Is food ill this
English circular for tho Maryland und
Virginia Legislatures.
A now iHirso-nmld had been wngagml
for tho family of John Leech. Ou lior
appearing In tho nursery sho was thus
addressed by Master Leech: Nurse,
papa says I am 0110 of those children
that ran be managed by kindness, and
I'll trouble you to fetch somo pongo
cakos and oranges uco." j
A a Army of Goggled Soldiers.
Arabi Hey hopes to hold his position
in tho Nile delta until tho great river
rises and Hoods tho country. Ho will
cut the canals to help the Nile in its an
nual overllow. This is a serious menace
to (ien. Sir (iarnet Wolseley. Hut Arabi
is threatened with a scare-crow enemy.
Tho Egyptian siroccos blow tho line
sands from the deserts on either side of
the Nile with hurricane fury. At times
tho air is full of it. Sir Ralph Aber
crombie found that nearly his whole
army was afflicted with ophthalmia
from sand-storms. London papers sug
gest that tho British soldiers of Sir. Gur
net's ,army shall wear Swiss goggles.
Rather bad for ascertaining range,
which would be a blessing to Arabi's
best soldiers. But what about Arabi's
fellaheens? Tho frightful spectacle of
an army of goggled soldiers at close
quarters must cause a panic among the
ignorant Egyptians. Fancy Wolseley
and General Alison in goggles, und
"grim-visaged war" is turned from a
tragedy into a farce..
A Legislative Doorkeeper.
Somo of 'em are very lik.i Cousin
John Thrasher's man who told him he
wanted to be doorkeeper, but cousin
John had promised to vole for another
feller, ami so, to get rid or turn, lie says:
hv, Jim, did you ever keep a door r '
'No,1' says he. "Did you ever study a
book on keeping a door?'' "No," says
he, "Did you ever see anybody keep a
loor?" I never did, savs he. "Well,
did you ever attend lectures in Augus
ta, or anywhere, on how to keep
door?" "Of course not." savs he. "Well,
my dear sir, you had better go back
home, and prepare yourself by tho next
session, and I'll voto for you." Atlan

Canned Seamanship.
While I sat talking with the fisher
man, whom a four ounce eel had made
extremely voluble, my attention was at
tracted to a terriblo splashing tinder a
tree a short distance down stream.
'Pull it towards yo, can't ye? Pull,
vo imitation of a plaster Paris gon. In-
lie
r! Pull towards ve. I tell ve!
And a small skill with a leg of mut
ton sail swung out from under the tree
and bumped along the bank, Seated
ainidship was a middle-aged irentlemaii
with a plug, hat set on the back of his
perspiring head, pulling hard on the
main sheet, while a ladv in tho stern
sheet had braced her foot against the
combing, and was doing her best to
pull tho tiller out of the rudder head.
"Don t ye know which is toward ve.
Want to wreck this ship on an inhos
pitable coast, and be eaten up by a lot
of heathen, half full of gin and half full
of Bible? loward ye: Pull it towards ve,
before this ark is dashed to a million
splinters!"
J v tins tune it was lianl aground, a
fact that neither the lady nor J he gentle
man appeared to bo aware of.
"I can t pull it any further, Mr.
Spoopeudyke!" moaned tho lady. "It
seems to be tied here somewhere, and
won't come."
"Lull" her, then: Lull' her. I tell ye!"
roared Mr. Spuopcudvkc, haif buried in
tho flapping sail, and struggling to re
tain his hat. 'Lull' her. I leil ve!"
" That's all very nice," muttered Mrs.
Spoopeudyke, flopping down on a seat,
"but I'm a heap more apt to hate her!
Say, dear, ain't we doing ptvltv well
now?"
Mr. Spoopeudyke fought his way into
fresh air and glared around him.
"Want to sink it?" be yelled, slam
ming tho little boom from side to side,
in the hope of catching somo wind in
the sail. "Want to run down in sit
thousand fathoms of water? Hard
down, I tell ye! Put her hard down!"
"I guess side's about as hard as she'll
go," fluttered Mrs. Spoopendvko, look
ing wcr the stern and seeing that it was
high and dry. ' "It's the other end that
Isn't Lard down, dear, and I guess
you'll have to turn it around sideways."
"That's what we wan, to do!" fairly
shrieked Mr. Spoopcndyke, clasping his
arm around the mast and bringing his
head against it in a fury of desperation.
"It took you to get the idea! Holy frog,
if I only had time to fit you out with a
President's flag and an appropriation
what a navy you'd make!" and Mr.
Spoopcndyke again dashed his head
against tho mast. "You hit it!" ho
yelled. "That's the scheme! AlUyou
want now is a foreign flag and a politi
cal Custom House to be tho whole
American merchant marine!" and Mr.
Spoopcndyke dashed aft, seized the til
ler and jerked away at it with one hand,
w hile with tho other he hauled away at
tho main sheet in a vain hopo that ho
might got somo headway from some di
rection. "What am von trying to do, dear?"
timidly asked Mrs. Spoopcndyke, dodg
ing tlio flying boom.
"Do," yawped Mr. Spoopondyko, grow
ing tnailder. "lam trying to reconcile
this sail to tho idea that a traveling idiot
iisyluni in white skirts and a red shawl
Isn't dangerous! What d'ye s'poso I'm
trying to do? Think I'm hauling my
arms out of tho sockets to amuse tho
children? Think I'm flopping this'sall
around to keep it from getting sun
burned? Well, 1 ain't!" ho howled,
seeing that, tho tide was drifting his bow
around and setting him In shoro broad
side on. "And I ain't wiggling this
business to keep tho moths out! I'm
sailing, 1 ami Hero's where you got
your canned seamanship! Hear meP"
and Mr. Spoopondyko ram mod around
In tho boat, now kicking tho tiller and
then tho boom. "See how proudly wo
cut tho waves?" and just then the rud
der camo out of tho stern post mid hung
In his hands. "Nothu how wo dance
across the measly billows?" and Mr.
Spoopcndyke plunged head foremost In
to the canvas like a sail needle, and
sank helplessly Into tho bottom of tho
boat.
"How nlcelv wo are going!" echoed
Mrs. Spoopondyko, who could afl'ord to
flultor, seeing that she was safe In tho
mud. "Upon ray word, it is quite like
a ferry boat."
"More desiccated marine informa
tion!" squealed Mr. Spoopendykc, ang
ling for himself around in the oottora of
the boat and wondering who had nailed
a church across his back. "That's your
notion of sailing! I s'poso you've got
some kind of a dog house idea that this
paeki t goes' by steam! Well, it don't,
I tell )'e!" and his voice arose as ho
found "that it w as athwart and not a
church. "It. goes by wind, when tho
wind knows enough to blow! Hoar
that? Perry boat! Oh, ferry boat!"
At this point his voice sank into the bit
terest sarcasm. "You've got it down
tine! You see through this business!
All yon want is a fog horn and a State
Central Committee indorsement to be a
Secretary of tho Navy! If I had your
intelligence on maritime affairs, Pd buy
:t corked hat, apply for a pension and
advertise myself as au admiral in search
of a respectable job and oiler tho best
city references! How are we going to
got a -dm re?"
"'o are ashore, dear," replied Mrs.
Spoopcndyke.
Mr. Spoopcndyko ducked tinder tho
sail, which had all along prevented him
from seeing l Iu; situation, and discov
ered for tin- first time that his boat was
well up on the land.
"Hod gast the shore!" he pelled.
"Why didn't you tell me there had been
a laud slide?" Why didn't you let nio
know that the channel had shifted?
Why "
"lint we've been here all tho time!"
remonstrated Mrs. Spoopcndyke.
Mr. Spoopcndyke looked at her help
lessly for a moment. Then he stepped
ashore, and hauled his wife after him.
The next instant he sent tho boat into
tho stream with a vigorous kick, and
jamming his hands into his pockets led
the way to the railroad bridge without
a word.
"I don't care, panted Mrs. Spoopcn
dyke, .struggling along after him. "We
had a real pleasant sail, and the only
tiBiethe thing didn't go sideways was
when it was stuck in the mud!"
"That's the worst of them skiffs!"
muttered the fisherman, who had
watched the sailing exploit with pro
found interesL "TJiey ain't got any
keel nor center board, and a man may
sit all day on a lee shore and think he's
makin' ninety knots an hour, lill tho
wind changes, jibes his sail and shows
him to himself half way up a tree!"

MALARIA
Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not een the most talented
physicians are able to fath
om. Its cause is most fre
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and 'there is
very little question, but thi3
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nec
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it It
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self.
Malaria once having laid Us
hold upon the human frame, the
door of the tyitem it thrown open
to nervous aiiease. The body
weak and enfeebled absorb no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organ no
longer perform their functions;
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organ, failing to do their routine
work. speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
to ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,

recommended for all diseases requir
ing a certain and efficient tonic; es
pecially indigestion, dyspepsia, inter
mittent fevers, want of appetite, loss
